Well folks, it looks like for the Longball League this game is called...
Game Called
Across the field of play
the dusk has come and the hour is late.
The fight is done and lost or won,
the player files out through the gate.
The tumult dies, the cheer is hushed,
the stands are bare, the park is still.
But through the night there shines the light,
home beyond the silent hill.
Thanks to the great Grantland Rice. That's the first stanza of his classic poem. It sums it up the end of the season for me.
Until next year folks, just enjoy the MLB playoffs and World Series.
-The Commissioner
